Project Title: Vashon Kids Scholarship Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Vashon Kids has provided dependable, creative, and convenient out-of-school care for 5\u201312-year-olds since 1995. Located in the elementary school, Vashon Kids provides academic enrichment activities focused on science, art, humanities, literacy, sports, social emotional development, and relationship building in a caring, supportive environment.
\nVashon Kids is a program of Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS) which is a small community based mental health agency. The main mission of VYFS is to serve vulnerable families, especially families that have been historically excluded by systemic barriers. We strive to provide upstream preventions such as building resilience, belonging, and emotional and educational growth opportunities to children in our community.
\nOver 50% of our children have complex needs, either behavioral or mental health challenges, early childhood trauma and\/or family challenges such as housing insecurity. Vashon kids focus is on creating a nurturing, kid centric space for all. We help the children develop skills on how to care for themself and others, which we believe is the heart of creating a thriving community.
\nWe also provide academic support, work closely with the school district and behavioral health specialists, and serve as referral service for their families. We establish trusting relationships with the families and frequently refer them to critical resources. As an unincorporated, isolated island with no municipality and cut off from mainland resources, our families depend on us for their childcare, academic support, mental health, socialization, and welfare needs. At VYFS we believe that future equity is built today by providing all children with an environment that allows for them to thrive.
\nSo that cost is not a barrier to working families in need, we provide subsidies of $4,950 a month, including summer months. We are requesting $9,900 to provide subsidies for 9 children for two months of the fall school year.\n<\/p>\n
